From my limited understanding is that with todays modern electronics using a generator like this will shorten it's lifespan, it's the death by a thousand cuts not necessarily that it stop working right away.
I have a WEN 56203i that I paid $340 and a Firman that I got refurbished for $220, I don't see any "deals" right now but this Westinghouse model should do the trick.

Would something like this be okay for a PA system / mobile DJ setup?
My understanding is that you want to take the system's wattage and 2x it to be safe. The speakers I've got now are Mackie Thump 15a's - they're rated 1300W but operate well below that.
However, I'm mainly concerned about the sensitivity of the components (laptop, controller, mixer, and speakers).
I've seen chatter about "power cleaner" protectors. Or like, how an inverter would be better for sensitive electronics.
Would greatly appreciate some insights (and suggestions!)
My generator manual says for optimal performance to run the unit for 30 minutes every 2 months, or something like that. If you donl that, you don't need to worry about trickle charging.
Either way, worst case, a $15 trickle charger can be added to the battery by popping off the bolts holding the battery in place and attaching the cables. Permanent solution if necessary if it doesn't charge its own battery.
Exactly this. There are very few electronics that rely on a clean sine wave to function properly. The death by a thousand cuts the other poster mentioned may be true depending on how close the tolerances are in the power supply, but those parts normally last decades. As soon as power is past the first couple diodes, filters, and transformer, nothing else can tell the difference.
